The worst experience in ALF

I have few things in mind, since I’ve been surprised for many things.Also,we are tired to have a conversation with [name removed] the E.D,because she never takes care of the situation,things still happening and that’s not fear for my family members,friends and neither for us who are paying a lot of money for being and feeling mocked and deceived by her;including employees of all departments. The rooms are nasty!Full of old trash,the bad smell is unacceptable.The food is not the appropriate,poor, and the trays food for rooms are always late and cold; the service in general has been the worst. The caregivers have no idea how to treat, transfer, and even less,have no patience and empathy with our loved ones.We all believe and are sure that more than one caregiver has not passed for any nursing school before in their life’s.Also, the facility is always short of staff and the small group of the ones who really work are not able to take care of all residents.

Our family's experience

They are severely understaffed and have been for a while. Patients are now getting two meals a day in their room that's not good for socialization.

Caring and Accomodating Facility

They are super friendly. My loved one had everything that they needed. It was a for respite care . We picked this community, because it was very close to home and was more comfortable. It was just what we needed. I would recommend to other families.

Average

I would tell others that it is clean. I'm pleased with the medical attention they have. This is one of the most important thing about the community to me. The staff could be more willing to assist with the residents to assist with eating with those that have trouble setting the food up. I think they may be short staffed due to COVID.

Great staff well maintained and friendly

This is a great community and they have been great with my loved ones. They are currently under a mandate due to covid and the residents have to eat in the room due to this. There are a lot of activities after covid and people are very interactive and happy about the changes

Review of DeSoto Palms

Before the pandemic, this facility cared for and provided great services for my mom. Since the pandemic, they have shown how much they truly care about the residents. They take extra special care. They communicate very well and often so we know what is going on.

Awesome care!

My mother has lived at Desoto Palms for 3 years. She has received awesome care. Te staff truly cares for the residents like their own family. Even during the current Covid pandemic, they are constantly updating us on any issues, concerns and updates about testing. They have made sure my mother remains safe and even when isolating they bring her food, puzzles, snacks and making sure she is happy and healthy! I am so happy that my mother is at Desoto Palms both before and during this health crisis.

Great place for my mother

We chose this facility because my mother needed more care. The room sizes at this facility are very big, she has a one separate bedroom with a bathroom, living room, kitchen. It is very nice. My mom loves it here. It is a smaller dining facility and she has made a lot of friends. All the residents are very friendly and she always has a place to sit in the dining room. The best part about the community so far has been the friendliness of the residents and staff.

Helpful Staff

Gorgeous facility. The follow up by some of the staff, was very impressive. They were very, very nice and very welcoming. After my visit, they checked in with phone calls and everything. I thought that was very good. The woman there also gave me suggestions for the possibility for a VA benefits. My father makes too much money, but she was very helpful, giving me contact people. One of the things I liked about them was that even if they knew that you weren't going to move into their community, they were still willing to help you out as much as they could.
